Brushed face and chrome lip. I don't like chrome wheels but chrome lips are a different story. Very easy to clean and looks right at home on a 7 series.

Color-matched lip might get easily scratched; brake dust over paint.

i am torn on this one. I would normally say the brush/chrome but I do like the color match. Now is this a daily driver? That may play a factor in the color match may scratch easily. How about color match centers with chrome lip or black lip. if you go the color match way I say do like Sam and paint the chrome on the car.

If he leaves his car as is and there will be no more mods, i would pick option A. He has a ac trunk spoiler and wald sides. Is he going with the wald front and rear? If so, i would go with option B. I I think the aggressive look would go well with the color match lips and black centers.

The car has a Wald kit that includes the Front, sides and rear. What other parts does Wald offer other than the trunk spoler?

I voted brushed with chrome lip, because, sometimes a painted lip looks a bit goofy to me!

This is a close one. If I could vote twice, it would still be color matched lips with gloss black centers.
